New E85-Compatible Spin-On Dispenser Filters from PetroClear® Promote Fuel System Integrity

Posted by | Apr 18, 2018 | ,

PetroClear®, a longtime trusted manufacturer of fuel-dispensing filters, has introduced two 10-micron particulate-removing spin-on dispenser filters ­– the 40510PE and 40510PE-AD ­– engineered for compatibility with E85 fuel. Fuels with high concentrations of ethanol, such as E85, can affect the performance of materials used in fuel storage and dispensing systems. Using materials not specified for E85 applications can lead to corrosion of soft metals and degradation of nonmetallic materials, leaving components in the fueling system made of these materials vulnerable to premature equipment failures and leaks. PetroClear’s 40510PE and 40510PE-AD dispenser filters feature a gasket composed of UL-approved nitrile...
